Can't believe that this is still going on ...

 

Look, JP and EC haven't operated in the same musical arena since 1966-8, when Clapton was in Cream and Page was in The Yardbirds and then just launching the Mighty Zeppelin.

 

There is no 'better.' All there is is your personal musical tastes. Which do you like better in terms of your own listening pleasure? This ain't Olympic gymnastics, where each contestant performs their manoeuvres and then gets marked out of ten according to specific criteria.

 

Here are two guys of approximately the same age, who grew up in the same part of the UK, adopted the same instrument, had some of the same influences, served spells a couple of years apart in the same band ... and then went vastly different ways.

 

I like some of Page's music better than some of Clapton's, and vice versa.

 

Anyway: if the poll question had been different (who'd you like best out of the three Yardbirds guitarists?) I'd've voted for Jeff Beck.

Lets see he did the soundtrack to "Color of Money",
:bor:
"Tears IN Heaven"
:bor:
, waht else? ..

 

Not just that...Edge of darkness,Homeboy,Lethal Weapon 1,2,3 ,Rush(tears in heaven was one of the tracks),Phenomenon...

 

And Page did the soundtrack for Death Wish 2.

 

I like them both.Both of them had great careers.great bands,great hits,iconic guitars,hot ladies....

About that racist thing thats crap...ask Buddy Guy,BB King,Freddie King,ALbert King,Nathan East,Greg Phillinganes,Billie Preston,Muddy Watters,Howlin Wolf(his big gravestone was purchased by Clapton),Robert Cray...if Eric Clapton is a racist.Thats something that happened in 197what...I mean,go out to the pub with the priest,after a bottle of whiskey,and a couple of beers,ask him something about religion or God.Ask someone in London about Fabio Capello,I could bet that you can find a least one guy who would shuv that vuvuzele up his ass,and send him back to Italy.

Sorry, Charles.

 

Page is better. It says so right there in the poll results, so you can look it up for yourself if you dont believe me.
